Slipped into bookstores and exhibitions, left on countertops, handed out as programs, spoken, sang, and yelled with a backing band of experimental musicians around NYC and beyond.
project description:
A text and image work. Printed in black and white on folded blueprint paper, this piece recontextualizes the Genesis story of world-making. Folded into 6 panels to correspond to the 6 days of creation, the text considers unmaking as an alternate story and set of gestures that might disrupt colonial / modernist / capitalist modalities of relations and mythologies of progress.
The images are black and white reproductions that come from a series of works that are part painting, part rudimentary printmaking. The original works draw on imagery of botanical and anatomical root structures, contemplating interconnected relationships and conditions between forms of life and non-life. They animate the questions: how do we understand life and death in our current ecological era?
